i think the iraq war was a mistake. the reason everyone knows for which we went in turned out to be not true. there wasn't weapons of mass destruction at the time in iraq. we spent an enormous effort and young men and women gave their american lives for the effort. it cost us over a trillion dollars. it really harmed our credibility the basic credibility of our country. not just in the middle east but in other parts of the world and with a benefit of hindsight if we can go back to 2003, i would recommend we not innovate iraq. this that sense it was a war of choice. it was essential not war of necessity. i think, however, that the decision by president bush to go in to afghanistan in october of 2001, just a couple of weeks after 9/11 it was a war of necessity. we had to go after u osama bin laden. >> host: let's hear from samuel on the democrat line. >> caller: good morning. how are you? >> host: good. how are you? >> caller: can you hear me. >> host. >> [inaudible] justifiable credit to our president and hello, mr. burn
